What makes this glaze tick?
Below is a glaze recipe i have been using lately and which i like very much. Its very stable, has a nice semi matte finish, and the pretty green/blue color is “varigated”(?).. (see below)
i would like to understand the recipe better with an eye towards changing the color but retaining the other characteristics.
Toward that end i have mixed up a new batch but have omitted the copper carb and the titanium dioxide (which i understand to be a pure form of rutile?).. i hope to add some diff
I’ll take a stab at this, hopefully it helps a bit:
Here is what I can say, the colorants are copper and titanium and ..... they are likely a very small quantity of the entire recipe. Generally colorants are added in small quantities with respect to the total ingredients to produce the color and effect desired.
Titanium dioxide is a thing, rutile is mostly titanium dioxide but also contains a minor amount of some element or elements, contaminants if you will........... usually iron.
